Hey AllisonAdler, what were you reading again about King Arthur and...Celtic legend, I think it was? I really wanted to read that, but with this darn site change and everything, I can't go and see what it was exactly. Thanks!

I am now finally at last reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and I am soooo loving it so far! Right up my alley - Norse myth, snarky humor, social commentary...rock on!

But I'm gonna have finished it in the next couple of days...I can't decide what to read next!

I bought quite a lot of new books the other week.

That looks cool! I'm reading Frances Yates' The Art of Memory and Randall Styers' Making Magic. Both excellent. I've also finally forced myself to start re-reading The White Goddess now that I've managed to read everything Graves read before he wrote it. It is far more useful now, so at least it was all time well spent.

Oh, and Footsteps of Dawn : it was Roger Loomis' Celtic Myth and Arthurian Romance that I was reading. It is a classic and deservedly so!

About the first ascent of the north face of the Eiger of which harrer was one of the four. He later became famous for writing Seven Years in Tibet.

Just finished the Alice Cooper book about golf. Funny how you can 'go off' your heroes. He just comes across as an arragant name dropper. Its disgusting the way he refers the original band as if they were just his backing group. Even 33 years after they split, 90% of his live show is made up of tunes penned by Bruce, Buxton, Dunaway and Smith which has to tell you something.

I'm reading Scars of Sweet PAradise, it's about Janis Joplin. Great book, I reccomend it to any Janis fan. I"m also trying to read The Two Towers, but it just keeps getting put off. : ( I guess that's my fault.
